I am an assistant professor in applied mathematics at Linköping University, Sweden. I received my PhD (2015) from Kyiv National University, where I was advised by Prof. V. Semenov. After that I had postdocs in Graz, Göttingen, and Lausanne.
Research Interests: My research area is continuous optimization. Primarily, I study existing algorithms and develop new ones. Related areas of interest include numerical linear algebra, algorithms, dynamical systems, stochastic methods, optimal transport, and machine learning. I like nice theorems, simple algorithms, and interesting applications.

Name: Besides "Yura Malitsky", I sometimes use another spelling "Yurii Malitskyi". Both are fine.
